She plopped herself back down on the grass, and once again opened her Fire Crab's cage. "By now everyone should have their things and a partner if you wanted one." Which, she was just slightly disappointed over the fact that most of them chose to work with someone else. But she had said they could, so no worries, really. "And if you still want a partner and can't find one, you can come up here and work with me." Grin! But she doubted anyone would want that. Anyway. Moving on..

"Today is all about taking care of the Fire Crab." Hence the emphasis on the 'Care' part from earlier. "And one of the most important ways to take care of them is to bathe them. Which you will all be doing right now." As if they didn't know. She glanced around once more to make sure they were paying attention, and satisfied that they were, she picked up the Fire Crab and placed him into the bucket. "You can all open your cages now, but before you pick them up, just know that they are going to be hot to the touch. Not scorching hot, and you won't get burned, but if you don't believe me, I trust you all have gloves on you." They read the rules, right? "You'll have to take them off after, though. It's difficult to wash while wearing them."

"You're going to want to move slow, so you don't scare them, and once you place them into the bucket, fill it with water until their rears are covered. Once you do that, the Fire Crab can no longer shoot its flame and washing will be easy." And that sort of, kind of answered Cassia's question from earlier, right? Right.

Pulling out her wand, she cast a silent 'Aguamenti' into her bucket, and once it was full enough, she gave it a flick behind her and a set of instructions appeared, hovering low enough so everyone could see.

SPOILER!!: Instructions!

"If there are no questions, you may begin! But please, just because the Fire Crab can not shoot its flame while in the water, they can still become scared and annoyed." All that would really happen is some smoke appears and the water would get a little hotter. But they were her babies! "So be careful and take your time. I'll be around to help if you need it!"

OOC: You will have.. probably a little over 48 hours to complete this activity. To receive full credit, you'll need to post at least 5 times, completing each of the steps. And if there are any questions, Professor Newlin will be around or you can shoot me a PM. Also, have fuuuuuuun!!! =D

Annabelle saw the professor reading off the steps to the class. She copied them down in her notebook so she wouldn't mess up. She went over to the fire crab cage and picked one out that look vulnerable. It looked so sweet underneath the ulgyness of it's shell and looks.

She shared allowed, reaching into her bag and removing them before placing them on. Now to get the fire crab into the bucket...

Sitting down in the grass, Ella crossed her legs and leaned forward, peering into the cage seated in front of her. Carefully, very carefully, Ella opened up the fire crab's cage and decided to have a little pep talk before getting started. "Okay little guy, I'm Ella and I'm not going to hurt you." So no need to go on a fire farting rampage or anything, all would be good. "We're just going to take a little bath and then you'll be ready to go back in your cage, okay?" Blink. Blink. Did fire crabs even understand english? Meh. "Alright, I'm going to take you out now, okay?" And Ella reached into the cage, moving slowly so that she didn't startle the creature. When she had a hold of the thing, she lifted it and gently pulled it out from the cage. "That's it, good boy." Hm...And Ella figured if she was bathing the fire crab, she might as well name him. "I think I'll call you Martin." BEAM. Martin was the perfect name. And Ella placed MARTIN into the bucket just as carefully as she could. See? This wasn't so bad.

Next step? Fill the bucket.

Belle saw Ella being gentle with her fire crab Martin. Belle smiled and chuckled to herself. Belle put on her dragon hide gloves and carefully took one out. When she approached the cage, one fire crab was going to the corner apparently scared to leave it's surroundings. Belle tried to calm it down. "Come here boy..yeah that's it i am not going to hurt you." Belle consoled it. She held out her finger with the dragon hide glove on it. Once she got hold of it, it was squirming but it fell in the bucket just in time. "Aww it is so sweet, i think i will name him Jeremy." That sounded like a nice name. After she had him in the bucket and it was comfortable. Belle now had to fill the bucket and complete step one.

Pulling out her wand, she cast a silent 'Aguamenti' into her bucket, and once it was full enough, she gave it a flick behind her and a set of instructions appeared, hovering low enough so everyone could see. SPOILER!!: Instructions! Step One: Fill the bucket up with enough water to make sure the rear of the Fire Crab is completely covered. While letting soak for several minutes, lightly rub the shell with your fingertips to feel for any soft spots or cracks. (Soaking will allow any buildup, caused by its flames, to loosen) Step Two: With a soft bristled brush, gently scrub the entire shell using a light, circular motion. Pay special attention to any areas with buildup, mostly around their colored jewels and under the rim of the shell. Be careful not to brush areas covered in scales. They tend to be sensitive. Step Three: Gently massage the Fire Crab shell, under body, legs and tail with a soft, wet washcloth. This will loosen most soil. Don't worry if small flakes are released from the shell! This is just normal shedding. Rinse the Fire Crab to remove flakes. Step Four: Rinse the Fire Crab thoroughly. Closely inspect the shell for any irregularities, such as softening, excessive flaking, cracks, unusual discharge, or discolorations. Discoloration would occur on the jewels. Step Five: While still wet, place the Fire Crab back in the cage and cover with the cage with a dark colored cloth (the ones that covered it earlier). Rinse out supplies. "If there are no questions, you may begin! But please, just because the Fire Crab can not shoot its flame while in the water, they can still become scared and annoyed." All that would really happen is some smoke appears and the water would get a little hotter. But they were her babies! "So be careful and take your time. I'll be around to help if you need it!"
